 ”This is orchestral jazz on par with the textural-lyrical magic of Kenny Wheeler and Maria Schneider, tough with an earthy dynamism more akin to Wayne Shorter and a sense of bittersweet melody all Jensen’s own. This album feels of the moment yet timeless; big-band clichés are avoided, but beauty is paramount. ”
